Chardonnay
The 2016 vintage of Chevalier d'Eon, made from 100% Chardonnay, is a stunner! It is made entirely in stainless steel tank which accentuates the freshness of fruit. There are ripe notes of apple, pear, and lemon meringue on the nose. There is a great balance of fruit, minerality, and acidity on the palate. The fruit is definitely the dominant flavor-- ripe Anjou pear and beautiful flowers, blended just perfectly with the subtle clay and limestone minerality. The acidity maintains the liveliness and vibrancy of the wine on the palate from its intense start to its long finish. This would be your perfect pairing for oysters, seared scallops or baked white fish.
